Our organization is located in the ports of Harlingen & Lauwersoog, in the middle of the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site and close to the North Sea. CIV Lauwerszee Holding BV was founded in 1968 by the fishermen of Zoutkamp. Initially intended as a purchasing organization for the fishery. Since then we have grown into a cooperative consisting of 200 members, a five-member board and 20 salaried employees.

The maritime stores supply products to the shipping inland and offshore for both individuals and professionals. We also have a technical workshop that performs maintenance on the ships.
